Being a time detective isn't easy. The biggest problem with researching family history is having patience. Its always a big mad rush to find all the information yet it will generally still be there next week, next month even years from now.

My interest in family heritage started when my wife started work at our local Library. She came home one night and said, (after the new employees had been given a tour of the various departments), "the family history room. has all the births, deaths and marriages from all over the world there!"
